Officially opened in August 2019, it was built to meet both Formula 1 and MotoGP specifications, holding an FIM Grade A classification and FIA Grade 2, with adaptability for Grade 1. The 4.6km main track, designed by Apex Circuit Design, features 17 bends and an 18-meter height difference, taking advantage of the undulating terrain.
